Chapter 196: The Second Battle Begins!
Although the regional congresses are more inclined to tap the younger generation of trainers, the gold content, well, at least the top 64 of the congress continues to rise, which is still worthy of recognition.
To give a very simple example, there are a total of four trainers in Zhenxin Town this year, except for Zhiye, who obtained the super divine beast - the God of Skin, under the will of the Great Universe in the Underworld, the other three set off with the three royal families.
And what about the results after a year of travel?
Only Ash and Shigeru, who is the grandson of Dr. Ohki, qualified for the Quartz Tournament, while the other two trainers, who were ahead of Ash in the early stages of earning badges, failed to get eight badges.
In addition to the trainer's own personality, cultivation methods and other factors, he couldn't defeat the gym trainers who took out part of his strength in the later stage, or in other words, the strength he showed couldn't satisfy these gym trainers, and it was also part of the important reason why these rookie trainers with the three royal families couldn't get the eight badges.
"Since I'm a rookie trainer, then I'll release Pokémon first!"
"Come on! Raichu! ”
Blinking his eyes twice, looking at Raichu who appeared in the middle of the field with a sneer on his face, Takumi observed the actual Raichu he saw for the first time, and used words to create a possible advantage for himself before the battle began.
"According to the information I gathered, not long ago, one of your Lei Chu, the master of the Ma Zhishi Pavilion, was defeated by a rookie trainer's Pikachu, could it be this one?!"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Zhishi only raised his eyebrows, but Raichu, who had dark orange fur on the field and exposed his white belly, roared at Tuohai a few times, and the yellow electric bags on his cheeks also continued to emit some subtle electric sparks.
"Looks like I guessed right. In that case, let's beat you again! ”
"Rada! This battle is up to you! ”
"Rada!"
With a fierce scream, Rada, who was only a little shorter than Raichu, came to the field and looked at Raichu ten meters away.
The brass bell-like eyes were half-narrowed, and Ma Zhishi stroked the golden hair that looked like pinpricks upwards with both hands, and said with some playfulness.
"This Lada is not bad...... It seems that you put a lot of thought into your intelligence work, knowing that my Raichu failed last time because it was not as fast as that Pikachu, but ......"
"Since you have already suffered a loss on this, as a trainer, how can you not find a way to make up for it?"
"Raichu, use an electric shock!"
Sting!
Rumble!
The bright yellow arc was extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, it slashed towards the position where Radha had been standing, and the earth and rocky ground were split by the arc, and the gravel was flying sideways at the same time as the loud bang sounded, but Rada, the target of Raichu's attack, was no longer here.
Just like the people in the TV series and movies who dodge bullets at close range, it's not that they are faster than bullets, but that they are faster than the enemy's action of pulling the trigger.
In the same way, it's not that Radha moves faster than the arc, but Radha who has been paying attention to Raichu's every move has already started moving before the arc is released!
It may have been a few tenths of a second, but it was enough for Radha to dodge to a relatively safe position.
Rada, who stood on the side unharmed, did not attack immediately, but guaranteed a certain distance from Raichu, which was not in line with Takumi's consistent concept of 'seizing the opportunity to attack', naturally due to Takumi's instructions to Rada through the spiritual link.
Tuo Hai's idea of using words to affect Lei Qiu and even Ma Zhishi's state naturally can't hide Ma Zhishi, a strong man who has been on the road of a trainer for many years, and it is not easy to say whether Tuohai's previous words have had an impact on Ma Zhishi, but Tuohai's thinking was really affected by Ma Zhishi's words.
This is the world of Pokémon, not a fantasy world that is upgraded by drugs, purely in terms of the profession of trainer, even if you are not a genius who can become famous, but you will not be a mediocre talent.
Improving yourself Pokémon has already discovered shortcomings is not something incredible.
"If the speed of this Leiqiu has really been strengthened by Ma Zhishi during this time, then to make up for its own shortcomings, it is said that this Leiqiu, who still has all the electrical skills, will have a great strength."
"Don't you dare to attack? Then you're welcome! Raichu, use the Thunderbolt Fist! ”
Glancing back at Takumi, he found that Takumi still hadn't given him an order, and Radha didn't act on his own, so he stood in place vigilantly watching Raichu, whose fists were shining with electric light, rushing straight towards him.
"Huh? This speed doesn't seem to be too fast......"
With a frown on his brows, he looked at Raichu who had already pounced on Rada, and when he was puzzled, Takumi also gave an order, he needed to test something.
"Lada, keep the distance, don't fight hard."
Between the lightning and flint, Radha leaped to the right back, almost brushing past Raichu's crackling right fist.
Seeing this, Raichu naturally chased after him unceremoniously, and his two fists full of electric light chased after Rada.
Desperate to dodge, Radha was able to avoid Raichu's fists with his explosive speed with two well-developed hind legs and an explosive speed that could only see a trace of afterimage.
This also makes it seem that although Raichu is pressing Rada to fight on the scene, in fact, neither of them has suffered any injuries, but only physical exertion.
Although Rada looked a little embarrassed on the scene, it was only on the scene, and as Rada's trainer, Takumi knew that this speed was not the limit of Lada.
The tightly knit brows relaxed slightly, and a look of understanding flashed in Takumi's eyes.
Raichu may be a little faster now than he was in a fight with Ash's Pikachu, but it's only a little bit, and there is no way to train Pokémon, especially in terms of physical fitness (strength, speed, physical fitness).
After all, the number of strange things such as [pure red agate] is naturally not large, generally speaking, if you want to improve your physical fitness, it is one word.
Train!
It takes time to improve his physical fitness, and the current Raichu in Takumi's opinion, in terms of speed alone, can't be taken into account by him.
"In other words, Ma Zhishi's previous words are here to deceive me?"
Thinking of this, Takumi shouted loudly when he saw Radha moving some distance in the field again.
"Rada, (hard onboard) use a flash of lightning (and give it a kill incisor)!"
With the combination of verbal command and spiritual link, as long as you cultivate a tacit understanding between Pokémon and yourself in ordinary training, you can play a role in confusing and taking the other party by surprise in battle.
And as Takumi's second Pokémon, the tacit understanding between Rada and Takumi is definitely enough.
Seeing that Radha had already rushed towards Raichu, and even if Ma Zhishi immediately gave an order at this distance, Raichu would definitely not be able to react.
"Let's go to the next city first......"
This thought flashed through his mind, and Takuhai's eyes subconsciously aimed at Ma Zhishi, who was dozens of meters away, but just saw a sneer appear on his face, and a bad feeling suddenly filled his heart.
Zizizizi!
The dazzling electric shock was densely spread around Raichu's body, and Rada, who used a flash of electric light to get close to his opponent, had no time to dodge at all, and directly crashed into this piece of golden electricity.
Takumi, who knew that he had been misled, didn't have time to regret it now, and he was already thinking about which Pokémon to send next in his mind, when he suddenly heard an angry howl in the field.
"Lada !!"
Takumi looked up suddenly, accompanied by another wail, the dazzling electric light that was originally impossible to look at quickly declined, crackling in the air for two seconds, and then dissipated helplessly because there was no continuous power replenishment, which also exposed the situation that was not real at all before to the eyes of Takumi and Ma Zhishi.
"Poof......haha"
Without hiding his joy because of the surprise in the field, Takumi's hearty laughter echoed in the Withered Leaf Gym, making Ma Zhishi's originally bronzed face a little darker.
The dazzling electric light dissipated, and everyone around the field could see the two Pokémon in the field.
Lying motionless on the ground, the hair on his body had been scorched, most of his muscles were burned, and Rada, who had been stunned at this time, and almost all intact, but one left arm was Raichu who had fallen to the ground, and at this time he was screaming because of the intense pain of the broken arm.
"Go and call those doctors who are guarding the door at the Pokémon Center to come in quickly, Raichu needs first aid now!"
yelled at the bald subordinate not far from the venue, and after seeing him running quickly towards the door of the Withered Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi looked at Tuohai with a gloomy face.
"You have a good Pokémon, and this situation can also make it desperate to get it back!"
Even if Tuohai and Ma Zhishi couldn't see what happened with their own eyes due to the blocking of the dazzling electric light just now, but when they saw the current scene, they could naturally guess it.
Obviously, after the last battle with Pikachu, Ma Zhishi made a plan to deal with the situation that this Raichu was a little weak in the face of high-speed opponents, in addition to strengthening his speed training in daily training, I am afraid he also gave Raichu instructions.
If you are facing an opponent with a melee attack, you don't need to care about how fast the opponent is, you just need to use 'discharge' with all your strength when the opponent is attacking in close combat.
I have to say that this move is almost a Pokémon like Tenklada that when Takumi saw the electric light on Raichu's body, he was already thinking about the next battle.
But what neither Takumi nor Ma Zhishi expected was that under the condition that Raichu continued to radiate high-power electricity, Radha actually endured this level of electric shock, and dealt a severe blow to Rachu, who did not expect Radha to have the ability to resist.
Takumi can now fully imagine Radhana's frightened expression when Radhana's front teeth that could bite off steel were wide open, and then he bit Raichu's arm with all his might!
This blow was not fatal, but it directly made Raichu lose the ability to continue fighting, which was a draw that Radha desperately fought!
Silently watching with Ma Zhishi as Radha and Raichu were loaded onto the cart and rushed to the Pokémon Center, Takumi's expression gradually became solemn.
Strictly speaking, he lost the battle just now, and a careless move directly turned the Rada into the same coke little Lada he was still laughing at yesterday.
In a battle, as long as you make a small mistake and are caught by the opponent, you may bury a good game, and falling headlong into the trap that the opponent has already laid almost means defeat.
The change from a must-lose situation to a 1:1 draw in the current Gym Challenge can explain why Takumi couldn't help but laugh at the first sight of the situation.
But after the laughter, all that remained in Takumi's mind was reflection and how to win the next duel!
After all, this counterattack by Rada can be described as a bit of a coincidence.
It was Takumi who gave Radha the order to resist the opponent's attack and exchange injuries for injuries through the spiritual link, so that Radha thought that his trainer had anticipated the opponent's reaction, and in the face of the powerful current of the 'discharge' attack, Radha who believed in Takumi could rush into it without hesitation, and caused serious injuries to Raichu.
However, in fact, Takumi asked Radha to resist Raichu's attack hard, just considering that Radhi might subconsciously continue to counterattack with Thunderbolt Fist, and didn't want Radha to waste this time with possible minor injuries in exchange for Raichu's chance of serious injury.
Who knew that in the end, it would become a situation like Lada being seriously injured and Raichu breaking his hand.
"Just from the bloodiness of this Rada, it can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into the cultivation of Pokémon in your daily life, and based on this alone, if it is some good-talking gym trainers from other gyms, maybe they will give you the badge......"
Ma Zhishi collided the two giants in front of his chest, twisted his neck, and shouted to Tuohai in a loud voice.
"But this is the Withered Leaf Gym, and the orange-colored badge in my hand is never given to losers, so, boy from the Light Red Gym, if you want to get the badge of my gym, you must defeat this Pokémon of mine."
"Come on! Shock Beast! ”
Exhaling lightly, Takumi swept the Pokémon in his hand one by one in his mind, and a touch of determination appeared on his face.
"Please, Six-Tails!"
Once again, Takumi lamented the lack of strength in his hands.
In the face of the electric shock beast, the best choice is naturally a powerful ground-based Pokémon, but the ground-based Pokémon in Takumi's hand is just a pangolin.
But the pangolin still has a lot of deficiencies in attack, if you want to attack, you have to play what it is best at rounding, rolling, and high-speed rotation, Ma Zhishi's other ways to deal with it Tuohai doesn't know, but just now Raichu showed a trick discharge, Takumi really doesn't think that this electric shock beast that looks obviously stronger than Raichu has not mastered the 'discharge'.
Of course, it is okay to hide underground, as long as the electroshock beast does not learn to earthquake, the pangolin is considered invincible.
Let's not mention whether Ma Zhishi, who has cultivated electric Pokémon for so many years, has a way to target ground-based Pokémon, just because Tuohai is now a disciple of the Light Red Gym, he can't do such a scoundrel thing in the gym challenge!
As for the supersonic bat, Nidoran is similar to the situation of the pangolin, lacking strength, facing a powerful electric shock beast, appearing is equivalent to Takumi choosing to give up this gym challenge.
And to pick a suitable one from the remaining Pokémon, the Six Tails can only do it......
